ΠΑΡΟΙΜΙΑΙ - Proverbi - Proverbs 12

LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 ο αγαπων παιδειαν αγαπα αισθησιν ο δε μισων ελεγχους αφρων	1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge. But whoever hates correction is unwise.
2 κρεισσων ο ευρων χαριν παρα κυριω ανηρ δε παρανομος παρασιωπηθησεται	2 Whoever is good shall draw grace from the Lord. But whoever trusts in his own thoughts acts impiously.
3 ου κατορθωσει ανθρωπος εξ ανομου αι δε ριζαι των δικαιων ουκ εξαρθησονται	3 Man will not be made strong from impiety. And the root of the just shall not be moved.
4 γυνη ανδρεια στεφανος τω ανδρι αυτης ωσπερ δε εν ξυλω σκωληξ ουτως ανδρα απολλυσιν γυνη κακοποιος	4 A diligent woman is a crown to her husband. And she who acts with confusion as to which things are worthy is decay to his bones.
5 λογισμοι δικαιων κριματα κυβερνωσιν δε ασεβεις δολους	5 The thoughts of the just are judgments. And the counsels of the impious are dishonest.
6 λογοι ασεβων δολιοι στομα δε ορθων ρυσεται αυτους	6 The words of the impious lie in wait for blood. The mouth of the just shall free them.
7 ου εαν στραφη ασεβης αφανιζεται οικοι δε δικαιων παραμενουσιν	7 Turn from the impious, and they will not be. But the house of the just shall stand firm.
8 στομα συνετου εγκωμιαζεται υπο ανδρος νωθροκαρδιος δε μυκτηριζεται	8 A man will be known by his doctrine. But whoever is vain and heartless will suffer contempt.
9 κρεισσων ανηρ εν ατιμια δουλευων εαυτω η τιμην εαυτω περιτιθεις και προσδεομενος αρτου	9 Better is a pauper who has what he needs, than someone glorious and in need of bread.
10 δικαιος οικτιρει ψυχας κτηνων αυτου τα δε σπλαγχνα των ασεβων ανελεημονα	10 The just one knows the lives of his beasts. But the inner most parts of the impious are cruel.

But whoever continually pursues leisure is most foolish. Whoever is soothed by lingering over wine leaves behind contempt in his strongholds.
12 επιθυμιαι ασεβων κακαι αι δε ριζαι των ευσεβων εν οχυρωμασιν	12 The desire of the impious is the fortification of what is most wicked. But the root of the just shall prosper.
13 δι' αμαρτιαν χειλεων εμπιπτει εις παγιδας αμαρτωλος εκφευγει δε εξ αυτων δικαιος [13α] ο βλεπων λεια ελεηθησεται ο δε συναντων εν πυλαις εκθλιψει ψυχας	13 For the sins of the lips draw ruin to the evil. But the just shall escape from distress.
14 απο καρπων στοματος ψυχη ανδρος πλησθησεται αγαθων ανταποδομα δε χειλεων αυτου δοθησεται αυτω	14 By the fruit of his own mouth, each one shall be filled with good things, and according to the works of his own hands, it will be distributed to him.
15 οδοι αφρονων ορθαι ενωπιον αυτων εισακουει δε συμβουλιας σοφος	15 The way of the foolish is right in his own eyes. But whoever is wise listens to counsels.
16 αφρων αυθημερον εξαγγελλει οργην αυτου κρυπτει δε την εαυτου ατιμιαν πανουργος	16 The senseless immediately reveals his anger. But whoever ignores injuries is clever.
17 επιδεικνυμενην πιστιν απαγγελλει δικαιος ο δε μαρτυς των αδικων δολιος	17 He is a sign of justice, who speaks what he knows. But whoever deceives is a dishonest witness.
18 εισιν οι λεγοντες τιτρωσκουσιν μαχαιρα γλωσσαι δε σοφων ιωνται	18 He who makes promises is also jabbed, as if with a sword, in conscience. But the tongue of the wise is reasonable.
19 χειλη αληθινα κατορθοι μαρτυριαν μαρτυς δε ταχυς γλωσσαν εχει αδικον	19 The lips of truth shall be steadfast forever. But a hasty witness readies a lying tongue.
20 δολος εν καρδια τεκταινομενου κακα οι δε βουλομενοι ειρηνην ευφρανθησονται	20 Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evils. But gladness follows those who take up counsels of peace.

25 φοβερος λογος καρδιαν ταρασσει ανδρος δικαιου αγγελια δε αγαθη ευφραινει αυτον	25 Grief in the heart of a man humbles him. And with a good word he shall be made glad.

27 ουκ επιτευξεται δολιος θηρας κτημα δε τιμιον ανηρ καθαρος	27 The dishonest will not discover gain. But the substance of a man will be like precious gold.
28 εν οδοις δικαιοσυνης ζωη οδοι δε μνησικακων εις θανατον	28 In the path of justice, there is life. But the devious way leads to death.
